If you're kind of mean, you could put her ability to work by getting her and Cinderhaze Wretch into your graveyard and then following it up with a Necrotic Ooze.
Degeneracy aside, this is a legendary creature to build around, for sure. Her drawbacks are significant, but her ability is powerful - and as Fragskull pointed out, exile effects that can be played in mono-black are few and far between.

Great flavour, though it may kill you.

You come up from behind and you're all like "hey baby, what's goin' (Shauku turns around) OH HOLY SHI-" and then you get removed from the game (which means eaten). Anyways, play her after Damnation or something. Very interesting card.

Expensive I guess, but now with all the untap abilities flying around, you could attach an Umbral Mantle or some other card to it and get dirty.

Necrotic Ooze!
Put her in the graveyard and put the Ooze on play, so the Ooze will haver her ability, but DON'T will have her downback!
Have fun!

She's like a combination of Starfire and Mileena!

Amazing art, one of my favorites. Tricky to use well, particularly since you "lose" 3 life, rather than take 3 damage.. so damage prevention doesn't work. None the less, the game becomes very exciting when she comes out, even if she winds up not being used well.

She could really use some new art. Maybe if there's a vampire duel deck someday...

Great price for great effect, interesting card. In black life steal she can definietely cause dread to the opponent.

Honestly this is a great card. Despite its drawback it has instant speed removal that obliterates the target rather than simply destroys it. She can get rid of pesky "shuffles into owner's library" cards and the ever dangerous indestructible creatures. Also, since she's a beefy flyer she can block a big attacker and exile another target as well after the block. And if worst comes to worst she can eat herself to prevent killing yourself.
